Polls close in Iraq....Can you Hear Me Now? (LAST UPDATE FOR THE DAY)

Can you hear me now? It looks like a great turnout in Iraq! Some are saying over 70%...WoW. I watched the coverage most of the night, democracy being born. People braving extreme danger to vote and declare their own jihad against tyranny! Can you hear me now? I posted earlier that I expected over 50% to vote. To argue whether the Iraqi’s want democracy now is futile. I never dreamed in my lifetime I would see democracy in a Middle Eastern country. The polls are closed and I feel lucky to have witnessed this event. The big question now is “What is Iran thinking? What is Syria thinking? Will democracy spread?”

If you open your doors and listen real hard….you can hear the people of Iraq cheer as democracy and freedom are born….If you turn your head a little, you can hear Boxer-Kennedy, and most of Hollywierd cry and moan. The people of Iraq stood Boxer-Kennedy, and most of Hollywierd up straight….and kicked them right in the *&^%$#@. To all those “ Iraq don’t want us-they wont help theirselves”…can you hear me now? Can you hear Iraq?

Update: It has already started...From Meet The Press...

Sen. John Kerry , D-Mass., sounded a note of caution in an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press."

"It is hard to say that something is legitimate when whole portions of the country can't vote and doesn't vote," Kerry said.

What a profound statement. With every network reporting over 70% voter turnout, Kerry cries fraud. I predicted this here.What a moonbat! Look at it this way. Millions of people show up to vote amidst terror and death threats and the Democrats question the process. Is that sad or what? The party of JFK questioning millions of people who voted wanting liberty and freedom. No Mr. Kerry..This is not Vietnam. Slant Point has more here. Why are the lefty blogs silent? Read this.
